(239 posts)Have you lived the experience of a black man? It does NOT make sense that a black man would mouth off to a white police officer in Ferguson, Missourah. Your white privilege is showing, might tuck it back in. Black men are taught from the time they start talking to NOT fuck with white people - especially not white people covered by badges from the USA. Do you know how hard it is for a grown ass man to swallow his man-ness and submit to white men who are just reminding them that the status quo is still strong and stable? That, a white man can stop you and tell you where to walk (off the sidewalk when white folks approach) simply bc he's white? Police officer has nothing to do with this. Have you seen the crime rates in these areas? You are seriously telling me that Wilson had absolutely nothing better to "serve and protect" that day than two young black men crossing a street leisurely? I would bet my life that they did NOT mouth off to Officer Wilson - but continued on after mumbling - "yeah, okay, we're almost there". And, if Mike Brown DID mouth off and say "fuck what you say" well - you know - he is an American fucking citizen - who can walk in the street since jaywalking is enforced at the rate of .00% in this fucking country - well, unless of course, you are a young black man. I can't even believe the audacity of people like you living your white privilege and pretending it doesn't exist and pretending that jaywalking and "mouthing off" is an offense worthy of killing. Uppity. Bet that brown guy in the White House fucking irks you.
